Experimental data from a study on the effects of subtle early-life temperature decreases on the cloacal microbiome of wild pied flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca). The dataset includes background data and code, authored by Suvi Ruuskanen and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license. The last update was recorded on 2026-05-21.
Use Cases
- Analyzing the relationship between rearing temperature and microbiome composition based on the experimental cold treatment.
- Assessing the relative contribution of genetic background versus rearing environment on microbiome variation based on the partial cross-fostering design.
- Investigating drivers of intraspecific variation in gut microbiome diversity and composition in a natural population.
Strengths
- Data originates from a controlled experimental study in a wild population.
- Includes both data and analysis code in DOCX and XLSX formats.
- Shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
Limitations
- Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring inspection after download.
- The dataset is small at 65.8 KB, indicating limited scope.
